bioo help! (1 Viewer)

[Nadiaa]

ive got a bio assignment for the holidays, and i thought i should really start on it.
iv been looking over it for days, and havent been getting any sense out of it (maybe because it was because i was dead tired each time i looked at it)
anyway, it says..

Describe the adaptation of native species of angiosperm flowers for wind, insect, bird and mammal pollination

if you can help me out, thank you.
i very much appreciate it

 

[Brontecat]

angiosperm = flowering plant

so think of australian plants like the bottlebrush, snowgums, wattle etc... and talk about how they've adapted to survive to increase the chances of their plant being pollinated by either wind, insect, bird and/or mammal.
e.g. pretty colours

hope this helps for now, will attempt to post up more info if i can motivate myself to start an extremely similar assignment

i'll give you hints but i won't do it for you.

Look at flower color for the plant (look at the color spectrum that the animal can see and why the plant would have this color flower)

look at the location of the stamen and stigmas on the plant in relation to the petals eg. do they stick out or are they internal --> wind and insect

look at the shape of the seed eg. hooked will hold on the fur of a mammal.

hope this helps
